“Zhong Ming, our people reported back that it’s extremely dangerous there. Not only are there a large number of mutated life forms gathering, but it’s also adjacent to a desolate land where monsters frequently break through the barrier. Are you really going there?” Guangyao and Ye Zhongming were riding on their respective battle beasts, walking in the middle of the team.
To prevent attracting the zombie horde and beast pack with so many people together, after leaving the Peak Mountain Base, they split up and took different routes to their destination. The people from Cloud Summit Villa and Area T naturally stayed together. However, the warrior from Ying City, Ye Zhongming, led his team alongside Mu Xinfey's group on another route.
This also provided an opportunity for both sides to make contact. If Mu Xinfey really valued the people from Ying City to form her new war department, Ye Zhongming would be more than happy, as it would increase his influence over the new war department in Area S in the future.
To demonstrate their sincerity, the people from Area T spared no effort in fulfilling Ye Zhongming's request, even deploying their small satellite, the Jingjue Floating Sphere, to bring Ye Zhongming the most accurate information in a short time, even handing over the photos captured by the floating sphere.
However, both Wen Zhong and Guangyao couldn’t understand why Ye Zhongming wanted to explore such a desolate place. Aside from the gathering of mutated life forms, there was nothing valuable there.
Ye Zhongming mysteriously smiled and didn’t respond, making Guangyao feel it was inappropriate to ask further.
Looking up at the golden speck in the sky, Guangyao and the people from the heavenly phenomenon war department showed envious expressions.
Earlier, when various battle teams split up, Cloud Summit Villa sent their Jingjue Floating Sphere into the sky, and Guangyao and the others immediately noticed that the floating sphere had become a piece of equipment with a level, and it was golden. Everyone was left speechless in shock.
Once again, they expressed their admiration for Ye Zhongming's powerful methods.
“Uh, Zhong Ming, could you help us upgrade our Jingjue Floating Sphere as well?” Guangyao coughed slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed to ask.
After gathering information for Ye Zhongming, the Jingjue Floating Sphere from Area T was on its way here, and Guangyao immediately had a thought, though he knew the hope was slim; still, he couldn’t help but hold onto a little bit of luck.
Ye Zhongming stroked his chin, surprisingly not rejecting the idea immediately, which greatly boosted Guangyao's confidence. His eyes sparkled as he looked at Ye Zhongming.
When upgrading the Jingjue Floating Sphere, Ye Zhongming had used the last bit of Ghost Gold in his possession, along with a large amount of Drilling Sea Gold, to achieve the golden level of the floating sphere. Now, if he wanted to create another one of the same level, it wouldn’t work.
However, the resources in the resistance area were too abundant, richly enough that Ye Zhongming wanted everything he saw, but he knew he couldn’t take the initiative to ask; otherwise, he would be ruthlessly cut down by that old fox, Wen Zhong. He preferred to obtain these later from Mu Xinfey.
But now that Guangyao mentioned upgrading the Jingjue Floating Sphere, it presented a good opportunity.
“We can consider ourselves comrades in arms. To be frank, it’s impossible to upgrade it to the same level as mine due to the scarcity of materials; I’ve already used up everything I had. But…”
“But what!” Guangyao quickly pressed.
“However, while a golden level is not possible, a silver level should be feasible. What do you think?”
Upon hearing this, Guangyao frowned slightly. A silver level was quite different from a golden level; he could imagine the performance would be worlds apart.
Yet, he quickly changed his mind; a silver level was better than nothing, right? One had to allow for some leeway.
